A good interim measure. This thing has been a point of contention. Mostly because I wish that we'd use the hardware EQ to its fullest potential rather than using it in a crippled way. If something has hardware controls we use those instead of software ones, since the SW one were intended as a way to give tone control to lacking hardware. No way to handle this has been agreed upon. There's been some criticism that users might be confused by the presence of two EQs and the best I can come up with is to have five controls labelled as "tone".

Then again, having two menu items and no functionality is also confusing. :-\
